Marinelives-Transcript


We are currently testing the opensource transcription software Scripto, which Giovanni has implemented within Wordpress.

Your can access this at: http://www.marinelives-transcript.org

We have uploaded a limited number of digital images to the platform, which we will experiment with at Monday's kickoff meeting and afternoon training session

2012-08-20 18:53:04 nbsp Had a go with this in the last half an hour or so. I felt it was easy to use and seemed a nice simple way of doing things. Zooming in/out and moving the document around all very easy etc. This is, of course, from the point of view of transcribers. I'm sure Colin will tell me more about how it works from a facilitator point of view when we talk on Tuesday. Can everyone including associates see everyone else's transcriptions? Discussion page is good too. I assume we would distribute documents according to expertise (eg if docs in foreign languages or Latin throughout give them to those with required expertise).

I assume also where it says 'changed by' and says either '205.178.145.68' or '205.178.145.71' etc or 'editor' this will be replaced with personalised names so that we can see who is doing what in each transcription?

I also wondered if, when transcribing a document, it would be useful to have the terms and dictionaries links on the main page down the side as links which, when clicked on, automatically opened in a new window so as to avoid interrupting transcription in the tab you're using.

That's all my thoughts for now! - Users/williamtullett
